And shouldn't the article "Cameron Diaz Hates Everyone" have been titled "Everyone Hates Cameron Diaz?" She's quoted as saying, "I don't believe in technology. I don't believe it has helped anything." Well said, Cam! Why are these people interesting? Your personal love letter to Uma Thurman? I mean, I'm sure whatever species...
